Ay, in the very temple of Delight Veil'd Melancholy has her sovran shrine, Though seen of none save him whose strenuous tongue Can burst Joy's grape against his palate fine; His soul shall taste the sadness of her might, And be among her cloudy trophies hung.

Rather enjoyable, but the lack of the usual toss-ins during the end credits kinda of spoiled it for me. It made me think that Yahtzee only authored the first part, and then had the Imps handle the selection and inclusion of the actual quips/analogies/etc.

But again, I'm willing to forgive if only because that was a refreshing change of pace.

Lordofthesuplex:Yahtzee, I don't need 5 minutes to contemplate how much of a tosser you are like the rest of us. Also the Red Steel 2 quip really isn't that good enough to be on this list. Especially not when the "Go watch my Mario Galaxy 1 review while I just sit here slapping myself" bit from his Mario Galaxy 2 review was funnier. See even in reviews I hate, he still manages to be funny.

Also a better Dead Rising 2 quote to use is "Oh okay, I'll just leave you inside that zombie's mouth for an or two while I go to find an ATM. Hang on there survivor, I forgot, did you say you wanted money or to be punched in the face by flaming boxing gloves because those I've got."

There was a better quote in the SMG2 review, in my opinion. It went: "This is something we used to call an expansion pack, in which Nintendo calls, KA-CHING!" That one had me rolling the first time I heard it.

Instead of watching clips clumsily edited together, I spent 5 minutes in silence contemplating whether Yahtzee's videos have simply dropped in quality or if the novelty of them is starting to wear off, and either way lamenting how I'm not as big a fan of a single source of free entertainment as I used to be.

Then I wondered what it would take for all his internet fans to unexpectedly and violently turn on him, like they did with MySpace.

Then I wondered what the hell I was doing and scoffed a couple of Quality Streets.

How dare you Yahtzee trying to have a week off? Your job includes playing video games! I bet I can guess what you're doing right now! If I had your job I would never take a day off and everyday I would be doing overtime, hell screw paying me just give me another game, food and a place to sleep!

Edit: Its like asking for a day off when your job is pleasing the vaginas of the supermodels we send you!

Hmm...so thats what it feels like to rant like Yahtzee...oops wait forgot the vagina joke, done!

/sarcasm

I will admit Im a bit disappointed he didn't get to review Fable 3 before the new year

ShadowKatt:I did not know he had the week off. So it was unexpected, but in a good way I suppose. I found it mildly amusing. Was really kinda looking forward to a review because I haven't heard of...well, anything coming out lately.

You should watch last year's episode. He almost literally told us to fuck off because he was on holiday. Then reminded us that its was summer in one last middle finger to his norther hemisphere fans.

haha almost had me at the beginning. I was like "oh...okay well I'll just sit here and wait" lolbut good way to end the year. I've been periodically using that poem on my friends throughout the summer and onward this year

Stylish_Robot:Only one I think is missing is Just Cause 2's "why? beats the fuck out of me!". And wasn't that one about "pink shirt? oh no, shit's getting real!" this year too?

This is kinda like the one I was praying he included too. Pretty sure there's one from the Dante's Inferno video and goes something like "'So what's the point of having two separate experience levels?' you ask. 'Well it's like my right hand on a Sunday night.' I say. 'Why is that?' you ask. 'It beats the fuck out of me!! XD'"
